Food and Drug Administration rules against Love...

CONCORD, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts bakery’s granola may be made with love, but federal officials say it shouldn’t be listed as an ingredient on the package.

Nashoba Brook Bakery, in Concord, was taken to task by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for listing ‘‘love’’ as an ingredient on its Nashoba Granola label. In a letter posted this week on the FDA website, the agency said federal regulations require that ingredients ‘‘must be listed by their common or usual name.’’

‘‘’Love’ is not a common or usual name of an ingredient, and is considered to be intervening material because it is not part of the common or usual name of the ingredient,’’ the FDA wrote.

If the packing says "Baked With Love" or something to that affect, then that is a-ok.

Nutrition labels, ingredients, and allergen lists are federally mandated, with codes that must be adhered to.
